EXPERIENCES
Where photography meets painting, poetry, and music — a visual language born from other art forms.
Unlike landscape photography, which responds to what unfolds before the eye, Experiences begins with a provocation: I build the context, gather the elements — a model, a technique, a place — and construct something that did not exist until
I made it exist. The result is deeply personal, and always meant to be shared.
This first series includes "Gourmandise", created in collaboration with painter Marina Romanova Sanzelle, first exhibited together in Vichy.

Exhibition: This series, created with Maryna Romanova Sanzelle, was exhibited in May and June 2026 in Vichy. It is ready to travel to your gallery or exhibition space, and will come complete with a full communication kit — posters, flyers, and videos — everything needed to support its presentation.
Like an obvious truth. It's such a pleasure to feel good while creating a
work that feels self-evident. I picked up brushes, made my own hypoallergenic
paint, and asked my model whether she was open to experimenting with something.
We worked together, moved from the painting studio to the photo studio, and
we're happy with the result.
So happy, in fact, that we decided to exhibit together — fully blending our
works within the gallery space.
And the miracle happened: our works speak to each other so beautifully.

Drought — Climate series
Seen from above, a human body becomes a unit of measurement — placed against soil that has forgotten what rain feels like. In this series, David Lebrun pairs the fragility of skin with the fragility of land, using aerial perspective to collapse the distance between a body and a landscape in crisis.
There is no disaster imagery here, no burning forest, no drama staged for the camera. Just a quiet, almost clinical stillness: bare ground, cracked earth, a figure lying as if exhausted, or waiting. Drought rarely announces itself — it erodes slowly, silently, until the color simply drains out of a place.
Part of David's ongoing Climate work, this series asks what it means to witness environmental change not as catastrophe, but as absence — the disappearance of green, of moisture, of ease.
The series will keep growing across the seasons, tracking how the land — and the body placed within it — responds as the climate shifts through the year.
SECHERESSE 1
The earth is thirsty, and she lies down inside that thirst — a small human shape on cracked, colorless ground. Drought doesn’t announce itself. It just erases the green, quietly, season after season.
SECHERESSE 2
Seen from above, she becomes a measure of the land itself — pale skin, pale soil, the same exhaustion. This is what climate change looks like when no one is watching: not a disaster, just a slow disappearance.
